AMC 10 Coaching

AMC 10 prep that starts with diagnosis, not guesswork

Pristone Academy helps ambitious students prepare for the AMC 10 through private, diagnostic-first coaching. We identify the student's current contest-math profile, then train the highest-impact gaps in algebra, number theory, counting, geometry, timing, and problem selection.

Premium private coaching, typically structured as multi-session engagements.

This is premium 1:1 coaching. The first step is a diagnostic conversation or session so the plan matches the student's actual starting point.

Who this is for

Students who are strong in school math but need a more strategic, contest-specific way to approach AMC 10 problems. The work is especially useful when a student is practicing hard but still losing points to timing, recognition, or avoidable errors.

  • Students preparing seriously for the AMC 10A or AMC 10B
  • Families who want a clear read on readiness before adding more practice
  • Students who need strategy, pacing, and problem selection, not just solutions
  • Advanced middle-school or high-school students building toward AIME readiness

What you walk away with

  • A clear map of strengths, gaps, and readiness level
  • A prioritized practice plan across the main AMC 10 topic families
  • Better decisions about when to solve, skip, estimate, or return
  • Parent-facing clarity about what is improving and what still needs work

Who this is not for

Being upfront about fit saves everyone time — including yours. This program is not a good match if:

  • Families looking for a bulk homework-help service
  • Students who only want answers without doing structured practice

How the AMC 10 track works

1

Diagnostic read

We start by observing how the student reads, chooses, times, and verifies problems across the AMC 10 pillars.

2

Gap prioritization

The plan focuses on the gaps most likely to move score and confidence, rather than treating every missed topic equally.

3

Contest strategy

Students practice pacing, expected-value choices, skip discipline, and review habits that matter under the 75-minute format.

4

Review loop

Session observations become structured notes and, when appropriate, a parent-facing diagnostic summary.

Frequently asked questions

Both can fit if the student is serious. The diagnostic determines whether the work should begin with foundations, contest strategy, topic depth, or readiness for harder problem sets.
No. AIME qualification depends on the student, timeline, exam difficulty, and execution under pressure. The goal is to give an honest readiness read and train the gaps that matter.
Yes. For diagnostic sessions, Pristone can produce a parent-facing summary that explains strengths, priority gaps, readiness, and next steps in plain language.
